How can I solve it?

Happening for me too.. Same code works for Android 6, and 7.. Was working fine for Canary 5. — mudit pant, Jul 11 '17 at 07:54
Same here. Our app crashes under API 19 Level. Downloaded again Canary 5 and our app is working again. https://developer.android.com/studio/archive.html — Photon Point, Jul 11 '17 at 08:18
To create normal apk which can be launched outside of android studio just select menu Build > Build apk... — curioushikhov, Jul 12 '17 at 20:15
I have the same problem on Canary 9 with Kitkat (API19). but "Android menu =>build =>generate signed apk " for release mode run ok. — HungNM2, Aug 08 '17 at 03:23

Seems like the issue is related to Aapt 2.

Put

android.enableAapt2=false

In your gradle.properties file and it fixes the issue for me.

I have another problem, I'm unable to share the generated APK. It always fails wile installing via Fabric or Diawi. Installs only with USB debugging.This happens even with simple 'Hello World' project. So My question is , can't we build and share APK from Canary channel? – DroidLearner Jul 12 '17 at 02:50
I don't think I have the same issue, I just tested on a project and can upload the APK to bitrise and install it on a phone. – Benoit Jul 12 '17 at 08:20
Oh strange. I've tested it both at work place & home. It didn't work out :( – DroidLearner Jul 12 '17 at 12:31

Above does not even build for me on 3.0 Canary 6. It starts giving errors like: Information:Gradle tasks [:mobile:assembleDebug] ...\src\main\res\layout\profile_activity.xml Error:(61, 39) No resource found that matches the given name (at 'labelFor' with value '@id/my_profile_first_name_edit'). – Farrukh Najmi Jul 12 '17 at 23:10

@DroidLearner I stuck with same issue on Diawi, I share release build instead of debut and it works fine for me. – nilesh Jul 13 '17 at 04:38

@Farrukh Najmi it is possible that you use resource (@id/my_profile_first_name_edit) before it get declares, try to add like this(@+id/my_profile_first_name_edit) instead. – nilesh Jul 13 '17 at 04:42
Yes, my bet on that too nilesh, had the same issue and fixed it this way. – Benoit Jul 13 '17 at 07:30
Yes It's works for me!! , One question, How you know this will work, is there any available in doc? can you please provide that link @Benoit thanks – Mahesh Kavathiya Jul 13 '17 at 09:34
@MaheshKavathiya check https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5025910/difference-between-id-and-id-in-android link – nilesh Jul 13 '17 at 11:36

@nilesh Yes changing the '@id' to '@+id' fixed my problem. Thank you! – Farrukh Najmi Jul 13 '17 at 19:25
This solved my problem with abc_vector_test not being found. Thank you so much +1 on AS 3.0.0 Canary 6 – Reid Mac Jul 17 '17 at 16:50
what if it fails to find stuff such as @color/light_blue or @dimen/d2? – X-HuMan Jul 18 '17 at 09:56
There is no resource in ur color resource file with name light_blue. – nilesh Jul 18 '17 at 17:10
@nilesh there are these resource in another library module which is included as an API – X-HuMan Jul 20 '17 at 12:10
@DroidLearner Can you check the manifest in the apk and see if the testOnly attribute is set to true in the application tag. If that's true, the apk can only be installed via adb. To generate an apk without the testOnly flag, use Build --> Generate Apk. – Rahul Sainani Jul 26 '17 at 09:01

I have the same issue.

put

android.enableAapt2=false

AAPT2. We are continuing to stabilize AAPT2 which enables incremental resource processing. If your build fails due to resource processing issue, please send us a bug report. To temporarily disable AAPT, set android.enableAapt2=false in your gradle.properties file. Roboelectric is currently not compatible with AAPT2
